Hospital Cancellations
We try to keep every appointment we make, but medical emergencies and unforeseen circumstances mean that we sometimes have to cancel appointments. If this happens, we are sorry for the inconvenience caused and will arrange a new date for you as soon as possible. Please note that the hospital cannot reimburse you for any costs as a result of a cancellation.
Patient Access Policy
The patient access policy sets out how the elective services provided by East Kent Hospitals University NHS Foundation Trust may be accessed. It is an agreement between the Trust, those who refer into the Trust; ie (GPs, Intermediate Services, Other Trusts and Independent Sector etc) and the patients who will receive the services. The policy is key to our commitment to maintaining and improving the standards of care provided to our patients.
